1909. Frontispiece by H.S. Delay. Millions of readers have hailed Zane Grey as a writer of Western stories but, strange to say, few of them know that he was once a college and professional baseball player. In this story he applies his knowledge of the game to deliver the tale of a young man and his love of the baseball. The book begins: Chase Alloway hurried out of the factory door and bent his steps homeward. He wore a thoughtful, anxious look, as of one who expected trouble. Yet there was a briskness in his stride that showed the excitement under which he labored was not altogether unpleasant. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.

A look back as to how far we have come and a love story,
By A Customer
This review is from: Short Stop (Hardcover)
A tale of how hard life was in the early 1900's, contains some racist content as to the times that is what made it worth reading as it shows how far in the right direction we have come. Also not a bad sport story and some insight into baseball and gee, how we have come so far in the wrong direction with the money they get now a days. It is also a love story so it just about covers all the bases
